That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
Numerators
true
convert the fractions so the denominators are the same if they aren't already. then add the numerators, but keep the denominator the same.
The numerators need to sum to 10 so that you have 10/10 or 1. 2/10 + 3/10 + 5/10 = 1
They will sum to the denominator.
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.
Numerators
You first add the numerators then take the denominator to the bottom of the sum of the numerators.
The sum of three fractions with odd numerators can never equal one half because when you add three odd numbers together, the result is always an odd number. Since one half is a fraction with an even numerator, it is not possible to obtain it as the sum of three fractions with odd numerators. This can be proven mathematically by considering the properties of odd and even numbers in fraction addition.
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?

You add 2 fractions with the same denominator [c], so the sum is the sum of the numerators divided by the denominator: a/c + b/c = (a+b)/c
2 mixed numbers can only be a whole when the 2 numerators add up to the number
